Robert Pattinson Talks Breaking Dawn Marriage, Sex Scenes
At a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden today, the actor - who is touring Europe alongside Ashley Greenein order to promote Breaking Dawn - joked with reporters about that film's wildly-anticipated wedding ceremony.
"The wedding scene's funny because we used a real priest," Rob said. "So technically we are already married because he did all the things you would do in a normal ceremony."
Wow. That was fast. Stewart only first confirmed the relationship this month.
After Edward and Bella exchange vows, of course, they get it on via a sex scene that was so raunchy, the film was initially given an R rating. Was the scene as hot to fil as it will undoubtedly look? Not exactly, Pattinson said.
"The set was crazy and you have about 20 people in the room and someone saying things like: 'No, Bella would not have made that noise. Can we do it again?'"
Robert adds that Bella initiates the intercourse, and wonders about the theme of sex overall in the Saga:
"I've never been able to relate to that fear of sex or sexuality. It's funny that all three movies portray sex as something scary and then, when they have sex in the fourth movie, they have a child with really rather devastating consequences. I'm not sure what they are trying to say... never have sex with anyone ever?"
Stewart said things got heated while filming the franchise's first sex scene for "Breaking Dawn: Part 1."
"It was so weird. It didn't even feel like we were doing a 'Twilight' film. I was like, 'Bella! What are you doing? Wow,'" she told Glamour magazine's UK edition. "It was very surreal. We [originally] got rated 'R.'"
Luckily for younger Twi-Hards the rating will not be final -- as the scene is being re-cut.

Kristen Stewart says the latest movie in the "Twilight Saga" was originally given an "R" rating after a sex scene between the actress and her real-life lover, Robert Pattinson, was deemed to be too steamy.
Pattinson had a different take on the long-awaited moment, where vampire Edward Cullen and heroine Bella Swan finally give in to temptation.
"It's strange trying to do a singular event which everyone is expecting. At the end of the day, watching other people having sex is never going to be that spectacular," he told Total Film. "Hopefully it'll be good. There's so much hype. You're like 'God, I hope this lives up to it.'"
